DAILY SOUL ARMOR — The Circle and Cross Protection Ritual.

A Ritual for Real People With Holy Chaos and Crocs

Magick doesn’t wait for candles.
It lives in your breath, your spine, your voice.
It wakes up the moment you say, “I’m ready.”

The Circle and Cross is a daily protection ritual.
The Cross of Being is your centering spell.
Together? They cleanse, shield, seal.

This isn’t just for your altar.
This is for parking lots.
For bathroom stalls.
For the moment you remember: I have a field worth protecting.

🜁 Cross ➔ Protection ➔ Cross
That’s the pattern. That’s the rhythm. That’s the whole body prayer.
Once a day keeps the swamp vibes away.

🛑 CROW WARNING: DON’T JUST LIGHT UP—LOCK IT DOWN

Before you throw up a Cross and start walking around like a lighthouse, ask yourself:

Have I done the full Protection Ritual in the last 24 hours?
If yes? Shine on, starlight.
If no? Pause.

Lighting up your field without sealing it is like turning on a porch light in the woods while holding a pizza.
You might get guidance.
You might get gratitude.
You might also get energy leeches, lost souls, emotional mosquitoes, and the ghost of Chad from accounting.

Shield first.
Then shine.
Simple. Sealed. Safe.

Crow would say:
“Don’t cast the light if you haven’t earned the armor.”

🪶 WHAT IT DOES

• Clears energy static (yours + whatever you picked up from Chad)

• Seals your field like the leftovers you actually plan to eat

• Draws your soul back into your body

• Builds real will—not wishful thinking

• Anchors you between stars and soil

• Makes you less snackable to psychic mosquitoes

⏱ When You Could Use it —

• Morning: start clean

• Night: end clean

• Before a gathering

• After a weird conversation

• Mid-breakdown

• Mid-joy

• Whenever you feel like a sponge full of swamp water

🔁 IF YOU FORGET A DAY

Catch it when you remember.
Say the Cross. Seal the light. Breathe like it worked—because it did.
Your light doesn’t need perfection. It needs attention.

🧬 ENERGY DETOX IS REAL (AND WEIRD)

Cleansing your energy isn’t just sparkles and calm sighs.
It’s sacred chaos. It’s the molt.

You’re kicking out squatters. Peeling off old skin. Realigning your field.
Here’s what that might feel like:

Common After Ritual Symptoms:

• Random headaches

• Old memories surfacing

• Emotional mood swings

• Big cries out of nowhere

• Strange dreams

• Sudden urge to deep clean

• Body aches or buzzing

• Relationship weirdness. Toxic relationships may flare up or fade out.

• Extra thirst or fatigue

• Feeling like you’re “coming down” off something

WHY IT HAPPENS:

• Your energy’s recalibrating

• Your boundaries are stabilizing

• Your aura’s taking out the trash

• You’re detoxing emotions you didn’t choose but carried anyway

WHAT TO DO:

• Drink water like it’s holy

• Rest like your future depends on it

• Move, shake, dance, scream, sob

• Trust the symptoms—they’re signs

• Stay in ritual, even messy

• Stay with yourself

Crow would say:
“Healing feels like crap right before it feels like clarity.”

Here’s the ritual —

🕯 THE CROSS OF BEING

A spell for presence, light, and personal sovereignty

Face EAST.
Stand tall. Feet grounded. Spine long. Shoulders soft.
Let your body know: something is beginning.

Make a wand with your fingers—pointer and middle together—or hold something sacred: a feather, a stick, a crystal, a pen. Whatever you’ve got.

Take one breath to center. Then begin:

🔹 Forehead – Touch gently and say:
“Crown of Stars.”
(Calling divine light from above.)

🔹 Chest or sternum – Touch the heartspace and say:
“Root of Earth.”
(Anchoring deep into the body of the Earth.)

🔹 Right shoulder – Touch and say:
“Hand of Creation.”
(Your active, shaping force—the will to build.)

🔹 Left shoulder – Touch and say:
“Heart of Receiving.”
(Your open, listening side—the will to receive.)

🔹 Hands to heart – Say:
“I am the bridge between Heaven and Earth.”
(You are both. You are the axis. You are the cross.)

Now pause.
Feel the light threading through you—above, below, across.
This is a living cross.
You’re standing inside it.
You are lit from center.
You are the conduit—not the controller—of power.

Optional: Spread arms wide like wings. Say aloud:
“I call the light to me, and I stand in its truth.”

Let that truth settle in your bones.
Let the light hold your posture open.
You are centered. You are aligned.

🔒 THE CIRCLE AND CROSS - Protection Ritual

A ritual for shielding your energy like it’s sacred real estate

Step 1: Cast the Circle

Face EAST.
Point your wand-hand straight out from your heart.

Begin turning clockwise, slowly, carving an invisible circle around yourself with your hand.

Say clearly:
“This is my circle. Sacred. Sealed. Strong.”

Complete the turn. Face EAST again. You’re now standing inside your own living perimeter.

Step 2: Draw the Four Crosses

For each direction, turn and draw a simple cross in the air:
Top to bottom, then left to right.
Touch the center of the cross with your finger or wand and speak the invocation.

👉 EAST (Air) – face it, draw the cross, and say:
“I call the breath of beginnings. Protect this space.”

👉 SOUTH (Fire) – turn right, draw the cross, and say:
“I call the flame of courage. Protect this space.”

👉 WEST (Water) – turn right, draw the cross, and say:
“I call the tides of truth. Protect this space.”

👉 NORTH (Earth) – turn right, draw the cross, and say:
“I call the bones of becoming. Protect this space.”

Step 3: Face East Again. Repeat The Cross of Being in full to seal the energy completely.

Step 4: Feel The Ritual

Place your hands gently over your heart.
Close your eyes if it helps.
Breathe like the spell just worked—because it did.

Step 5: Closing Seal

🜁 Step your right foot forward.
Place your left hand behind your back.
Touch your lips with your right index finger.
Breathe.

You’re sealed.
You’re protected.
You’re glowing—but guarded.

Crow would say:
“When the bones remember and the light agrees—you’re ready.”

The silence is the seal.
You are the lock and the key.
